Yes, these VDE certified cutters are safe for live working up to 1,000V, provided they are used by a qualified person following appropriate safety procedures.

They are specifically designed for copper and aluminum wire and cable only.

No, these cutters are not designed for steel wire rope or any hardened steel materials. They are only suitable for copper and aluminum.

Induction hardening is a heat treatment process that makes the cutting edges of the blades exceptionally hard and durable, ensuring they remain sharp and perform well over time.

It means there are integrated attachment points on the tool's handle where you can secure a safety lanyard, preventing the tool from falling when working at height.

The two-component ergonomic design provides a comfortable, secure grip with anti-slip properties, improving control and reducing user fatigue during extended use.

Ensure the cable is positioned correctly within the cutting jaws. Verify that the cable material is copper or aluminum, as the tool is not designed for other materials. Check the blades for any debris or damage and clean if necessary.

Confirm you are using the correct part of the unique blade profile for stripping. Ensure the wire gauge is within the recommended range for this tool. Adjust grip pressure slightly to achieve a clean strip.

Clean the pivot area of any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of light machine oil to the pivot and work the handles back and forth to distribute the lubricant.

Cease using the tool immediately. Inspect the blades, handles, and pivot for any cracks or significant wear. If damage is found, do not use and consider replacement.
